The Australian Hydromyine Rodents—Their Interspecific Diversity and Reproductive Biology: A Review
There are two major groups, the Rattus species and the Hydromyini, in Australia. Clearly, the hydromyine rodents, unlike the Rattus genus, exhibit a diverse array of reproductive biological traits in both males and females, the full evolutionary significance of which has yet to be ascertained.

ABSTRACT Pedicellariae are small appendages on the surface of the echinoid test, involved in defence, cleaning, and locomotion. Pedicellariae in three species of camarodont sea urchins common in UK waters (Paracentrotus lividus [Lamarck, 1816], Psammechinus miliaris [P.L.S Müller, 1771] and Echinus esculentus [Linnaeus, 1758]) are the focus of this ...

Abstract The marronoid clade is a globally distributed, ecologically diverse group of spiders. It is an important faunal component in both natural and synanthropic environments, and even found in aquatic and extreme habitats such as desert salt flats. The systematics of the marronoid clade has been notoriously unstable due to the widespread character ...

Labiolingual thickness and cross‐sectional area in callitrichid incisors
Many primates gouge to extract gums or saps from trees as part of their diet. Gouging callitrichid monkeys are characterized by lower incisors that are labiolingually thicker than non‐gougers, however, their incisors are not any larger in cross‐section. This difference may provide key insight into the gouging behavior of fossil primates.

ABSTRACT Previous studies have documented genetic divergence within the last few million years between northern and southern populations of terrestrial plants and animals along the Baja California peninsula, with many studies hypothesising that the divergence is due to an ancient seaway that crossed the central peninsula and created a physical barrier ...

Abstract figure legend The influence of haemoglobin–O2 affinity on aerobic capacity in hypoxia has been contentious. Many high‐altitude natives have greater haemoglobin–O2 affinity (lower P50, the O2 pressure at 50% haemoglobin saturation) than their low‐altitude counterparts, but the advantages of this change for aerobic metabolism have often remained

Safe and Stable Germline Transmission of MSTN Mutations in Cattle
ABSTRACT With the global population expected to reach 10 billion by 2050, sustainable livestock production is critical. Gene editing of the myostatin (MSTN) gene represents a promising strategy to enhance muscle growth in cattle. In this study, MSTN‐mutated founder (F0) cows were used to generate F1 offspring via ovum pick‐up, in vitro fertilization ...

ABSTRACT Weapons are morphological structures used by animals in various contexts, especially in intra‐specific contests and visual displays. In snapping shrimps of the genus Alpheus, particularly the monogamous species Alpheus brasileiro, both sexes bear enlarged chelipeds, potentially conferring advantages in mate competition or territorial defence ...
